Looking out across the night-time
The city winks a sleepless eye
Hear her voice shake my window
Sweet seducing sighs

Get me out into the night-time
Four walls won't hold me tonight
If this town is just an apple
Then let me take a bite

If they say, why, why?
Tell 'em that is human nature
Why, why does he do me that way?
If they say, why, why?
Tell 'em that is human nature
Why, why does he do me that way?

Reaching out to touch a stranger
Electric eyes are everywhere
See that girl, she knows I'm watching
She likes the way I stare

If they say, why, why?
Tell 'em that is human nature
Why, why does he do me that way?
If they say, why, why?
Tell 'em that is human nature
Why, why does he do me that way?
I like livin' this way
I like lovin' this way

Looking out across the morning
The city's heart begins to beat
Reaching out, I touch her shoulder
I'm dreaming of the street

If they say, why, why?
Tell 'em that is human nature
Why, why does he do me that way?
If they say, why, why? Ooh, tell 'em
Why, why does he do me that way?

If they say, why, why? Cha cha cha
Why, why does he do me that way?
If they say why, why, why? Ooh, tell 'em
Why, why does he do me that way?

If they say, why, why? Ooh, tell 'em
Why, why does he do me that way?
If they say, why, why? Da da da
Why, why does he do me that way?
I like livin' this way

Oh my god this song is so calming. I play it all the time at night, it just relaxes my mind and body. I love when I hear the harmony part its so relaxing I miss michael so much I hate when people talk about him he did so much for this world he broke the boundaries for mtv because before michael they didn't play black music and he started two charities and help contribute money to them, so he did alot for the world so they should really shut the heck up now!

Damn, It's true he didn't write many songs all by himself, but he made lots of his songs with other people. For example, He didn't write the song "say say say", he wrote it with Paul Mccartney. And, I bet all of his songs (except from the Jackson 5) really happened to him like Speed Demon. He wrote it because he had a traffic ticket and he arrived late at the recording studio. Billie Jean is one too and I bet lots of people know why mj wrote it. And billie jean is also one song that only michael jackson wrote by himself.
Well those are enough facts. Lol.
